Good day,
I'm having trouble playing an mp4 video of roughly 6 hours (~size 600 MB). I used VLC and the player seems not to play nor I see error messages. In MPC I see the 'cannot render the file' message on the bottom bar
mediainfo for this file
Complete name : F:\1_2014-05-31_03-33-54.mp4
Format : MPEG-4
Format profile : Base Media
Codec ID : isom
File size : 549 MiB
I have read on the internet that in similar cases somehow the files may have not encoded properly.
I tried to use staxrip 1.1.90 to encode the file (I am a complete newbie) but even at the starting phase, the following error 'FFVideoSource: Can't open' appears and the program does not do further actions.
I remember that in Staxrip I could use a tool going in Tools>Launch>DGAVCIndex or DGIndex to preview files damaged in a similar way and the video was showing there. Now I using the same tool I cannot view the file or any other working file of the same format.
THe question is, how can I use Staxrip to reactivate that previewing function?
If that does not work, how can I encode this file?

I have moved the thread for you to Encoder GUIs.

DGIndex does not open MP4 files. You can however open them with DGIndexNV.

Others will come and tell you of other options to get things working, I'm sure.
